Professional Whole-Home Air Duct Cleaning
Your HVAC system moves a tremendous amount of air through your home. As dust and debris accumulate over time, your ductwork can become dirty—especially after years of use, home renovations, or changes in the home’s occupants.
Our whole-home air duct cleaning service is designed to remove accumulated debris from your HVAC duct system using professional negative-air equipment and specialized air-duct cleaning tools.
Rather than simply vacuuming the visible portions of your registers, our cleaning process is designed to address the duct system as a whole, including accessible supply and return ductwork and main trunk lines.
What’s Included With Our Air Duct Cleaning?
Every HVAC system and home is different, so we inspect the system before work begins and clearly explain the scope of cleaning.
Depending on your home’s configuration and accessibility, our service may include:
- Supply duct cleaning
- Return duct cleaning
- Main supply and return trunk-line cleaning
- Register and grille cleaning
- Removal of accumulated dust and debris
- Cleaning of accessible portions of the HVAC air-distribution system
- Professional negative-air duct cleaning
- Before-and-after documentation when appropriate
- Cleanup and protection of the work area
Multiple HVAC systems or unusually difficult access may require additional charges. Your price will be explained before work begins.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Process
1. Inspect
We begin by evaluating your HVAC system, ductwork, registers, returns and available access.
We’ll look for visible accumulation of dust and debris as well as conditions that could affect the cleaning process.
2. Protect Your Home
Before cleaning begins, appropriate precautions are taken to protect your floors, furnishings and surrounding areas.
3. Connect Professional Equipment
Our air-duct cleaning team uses commercial-grade negative-air equipment designed specifically for cleaning HVAC duct systems.
The system creates controlled airflow through the ductwork while specialized tools are used to loosen and remove accumulated debris.
4. Clean the Duct System
Supply ducts, return ducts and accessible trunk lines are cleaned using specialized air-duct cleaning tools.
The goal is to move loosened debris toward the collection equipment rather than simply blowing it around inside the home.
5. Clean Registers & Grilles
Registers and grilles are removed as appropriate and cleaned of accumulated dust and debris.
6. Review the Results
Once the cleaning is complete, we’ll review the work with you and provide before-and-after documentation when appropriate.
When Should You Consider Air Duct Cleaning?
There isn’t a one-size-fits-all schedule for cleaning HVAC ductwork. However, there are situations where an inspection may make sense.
Consider having your duct system evaluated if:
- You’ve recently purchased a home
- You’ve recently completed remodeling or construction
- You have noticed significant dust accumulation around registers
- Your home has had pets for many years
- You can see substantial debris inside accessible ductwork
- Your HVAC system or ductwork is older
- You’ve noticed unusual odors coming from the duct system
- Your ductwork has not been inspected or cleaned for many years
- You simply want to know what condition your ductwork is in
Not every HVAC system needs to be cleaned. That’s why we inspect the system and explain what we find before recommending service.
Commercial-Grade Air Duct Cleaning Equipment
Professional results require professional equipment.
Our air-duct cleaning team utilizes a Hypervac Evolution duct-cleaning system, powerful air-compression equipment and specialized duct-cleaning whips, hoses and accessories.
This equipment allows us to clean more than just the first few feet of ductwork behind your registers.
The goal is to clean the accessible portions of the duct system—not simply make the registers look clean.
Air Duct Cleaning & Dryer Vent Cleaning
At The Lint Guy, vents are our business.
We started with professional dryer vent cleaning, and we’ve expanded our services to include whole-home air duct cleaning.
That means you can now turn to one local company for two important ventilation-cleaning services.
Dryer Vent Cleaning
Your dryer vent removes hot, moist air and lint from your dryer. A restricted or clogged dryer vent can reduce dryer performance and increase operating time.
Professional dryer vent cleaning: $149
Whole-Home Air Duct Cleaning
Your HVAC ductwork distributes conditioned air throughout your home. Professional cleaning can remove accumulated dust and debris from accessible portions of the duct system.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does air duct cleaning cost?
The cost depends on factors such as the size of the home, number of HVAC systems, duct configuration, number of registers and accessibility.
We provide an estimate based on your home’s actual system rather than assuming every home is the same.
Contact The Lint Guy for a personalized estimate.
How long does air duct cleaning take?
The time required varies depending on the size and configuration of the home, the number of HVAC systems and the condition and accessibility of the ductwork.
We’ll give you an estimated timeframe when we quote your job.
Do you clean the entire duct system?
We clean accessible supply and return ductwork and trunk lines as included in your quoted scope of work.
Because duct systems vary considerably between homes, we inspect the system before beginning and identify any portions that cannot reasonably be accessed.
Do you clean the HVAC unit?
Cleaning of accessible HVAC components can be included when appropriate. However, air-duct cleaning is not the same thing as HVAC repair or air-conditioner maintenance.
We do not diagnose or repair HVAC mechanical problems.
Can you clean flexible ductwork?
Yes, depending on the condition and accessibility of the ductwork. Flexible ductwork requires appropriate cleaning methods to avoid damaging the material.
The condition of the ductwork is evaluated before cleaning.
Do you use a fogging or sanitizing treatment?
Sanitizing or other treatments may be available when appropriate. Any treatment is discussed with the customer before application.
We do not automatically apply chemical treatments to every duct system.
Will air duct cleaning eliminate allergies?
We don’t make medical claims or guarantee that air-duct cleaning will improve allergies or other health conditions.
Professional cleaning can remove accumulated dust and debris from the duct system, but indoor air quality is affected by many factors beyond the condition of the ductwork.
Do you find mold in air ducts?
We may identify visible conditions that appear unusual or warrant further evaluation, but air-duct cleaning is not the same as mold inspection or remediation.
If we encounter a condition that appears to require specialized evaluation, we’ll let you know rather than making an unsupported diagnosis.
How often should air ducts be cleaned?
There is no universal cleaning schedule that applies to every home.
The need for cleaning depends on the condition of the ductwork, the home’s occupants, pets, remodeling history and other factors.
We recommend evaluating the actual condition of the system rather than selling unnecessary recurring cleanings.
